Introduction
Football is the most popular sport in Indonesia, from Aceh to Papua
football game can not be denied as anesthetize the public to come to the stadium
to give support to his favorite team. The game of football as a spectator sport is a
tremendous attraction, the game of football can make an audience willing to
spend money to buy a ticket, queuing up with the atmosphere of jostling, hot sun
in the stadium who did not sting as a barrier to the audience to come to stadium.
Fans of football is not only a human being or spectators who come to the
stadium, there are many more who can only watch a football game via broadcast
television or listen to the radio. Large audience interest in the competition or
football game of course is an opportunity and potential market share to introduce

products, and raise the company's image, if a company has a desire to become
sponshor.
Football competition in Indonesia with all its potentials and constraints
that have been dealt with time management or professional management.
Professional word according to Saleh (2005: 144) could mean sportsman playing
for money means that competed and regard it as a job to earn money or salary.

Opponent he is an amateur that is played without a goal to earn a salary. With
the concept of professional management of the competition which could mean
the club to run its activities with the aim of obtaining profits. The concept of
soccer industry is basically how football as an event can benefit all parties
involved start from a player, executive committee, club, to the connoisseurs of
football as a spectacle.
Two models of football competition in Indonesia, which claimed as a
professional football competition involved the prolonged conflict in which both
organizations feel that the best manager competition. PSSI (Football Association
of Indonesia) as an official organization under the FIFA (Federation International
of Football Association) Premier League meyatakan that Indonesia under PT. LPI
is the illegal competition, but PT. LPI argue that competition is a competition that
is professional, although PSSI does not acknowledge its existence, LPI is still
running under the guidance of Professional Sports Agency of Indonesia (BOPI).
Conflict management of professional football competition in Indonesia
attracted authors studied more deeply about what actually happens in two
models of conflict management of professional football competition, the
competition between the PSSI as the manager of ISL and PT. LPI as manager of
Premier League Indonesia.

Indonesia Football Coaching Achievement
Tsu 'Chu is a foot ball game played since the second century in China.
This sport has a tremendous attraction to the present. Tsu 'Chu is known football
today. Football is one of the sports game that is very popular and liked by all
levels of Indonesian society. The development of football in Indonesia, more and
more rapidly so that not only men who play football, but football has been played

by women. Football fans in Indonesia have the largest number compared to other
sports. ISL League matches and Ti-phones are in containers by the quiz as the
broadcast rights holder has the highest audience rating for spectator sports in
television (http://m.beritajatim.com).
Philosophy football game is actually very simple, namely how to score
more goals into the opponent's goal. Football games performed by eleven
players with one player serving as the goalkeeper. Football game that began as
an instrument of struggle to achieve independence, football has experience
change game that can be managed into a commodity business or industry.
Football as a sport game also has emerged as a tool to form the character of
nation, as evidenced during the AFF Cup football championship as the countries
of Southeast Asia in 2011, all Indonesian football fans seemed to dissolve in the
joy when the national team playing football Indonesia. Pride as a nation face
looks so clear when Indonesia Raya song was played before the game. Table 1
shows the potential of a large number of football fans in Indonesia not correlate
positively to the achievement of national team (national team) football Indonesia,
even from the perspective of a degree in regional or international championship
national team performance tends to decrease. the Indonesian soccer national
team has not been able to excel at the global level the last ten years.


Achievements of the national team is the pinnacle of football achievement
coaching buildings in Indonesia. Peak performance and appearance of a
sportsman will be achieved by making long-term exercise with approximately
ranging from 8 to 10 years of gradual, continuous, increasing and continuous.
Peak performance athletes, especially in football sport can be achieved antarar
aged 20-27 years, with a long development stage 8 to 10 years.

Figure 1. A Potential Nation Sport System (Bompa: 1983)
Football players have already started to be fostered and trained at the age of 718 years. Coaching young athletes be gradual in order to achieve peak
performance or called Golden Age (Golden Age). Each stage is supported by a
good exercise program, where development is evaluated periodically. Football
players at senior level or age above 18 years, to achieve, maintain and improve
achievement at the international level requires a competitive and professional
competition.

Football coaching is done in various containers, such as that already took
place today in Indonesia. Football club from amateur to professional level.
Coaching starts from amateur club level board member of PSSI branch clubs in
the area of level II or district, provincial board member clubs, namely that a
provincial club amateur club with competition divisions I-III. Professional clubs
directly under the management of the League Board of Indonesia (BLI). Line
coaching school sports also have been made with cooperation with Education
Departement

through PPLP and sport class. One thing that can not be

separated from development system that is the container for measuring the
success of the development of competition. Where there is competition
participant clubs will compete to perform coaching or training system is best for
players for optimum team performance.
PSSI as an official organization in charge of coaching football sport
branches in Indonesia should look inward, why the interpretation of Indonesian
football team has not been as expected most of the community. Coaching models
applied so far, is it best fit the situation and condition of the nation? What is the

competition model is not implemented properly, how coaching young players that
have been done, whether the coach who is in Indonesia has not been as
expected, existing facilities in the community? The question that is difficult to
answer. One factor that certainly in countries with a proven record of quality world
football at the senior level of competition is managed professionally and very
competitive.
Importance of Competition In Achievement Coaching Football
According to Sacks & Krupat (1988) competition is an attempt to fight or
more than others. Competition is the activity in achieving its objectives in a way to
beat another person or group. Individuals or groups choose to compete depends
on the structure of rewards in a given situation. The principle of the survival of the
fittest (the last is the best quality) and then developed as the foundation of all
forms of competition.
With the competition that communities hold the selection to achieve
progress.

Competition

has

several

positive

functions,

namely:

a) the competition is a positive incentive for people and communities to achieve
continuous progress stages of increasingly high, b) encourage competition and to
focus the mind, energy and means to achieve better results than the results
achieved today, even The best result among others, c) the spirit of competition to
encourage people to make new discoveries that surpass the invention of others.
According to Taylor, Peplau, and Sears (2000), the determinant for the formation
of the competition are as follows: a) the reward structure is limited, meaning
when the individual is about to reach the reward there must be others who
suffered defeat, b) the personal values of individuals, where there is individuals
who feel they must do things better than others. Guidance on individual players

and football teams will achieve optimal performance when there is competition,
rivalry or the match between individuals and between teams. Competition is one
of the important factors other than quality players, quality coaches and facilities
infrastructure.

Figure 2. The Quality of Training and Factor Involved (Bompa: 1983)
Opinions about the competition can be concluded that competition in
football is a situation where there are goals to be achieved one by many
individuals or teams, thus motivating the individual or team to exceed the other by
way of improving performance or the performance of either individual or team.
PSSI as an organization that has the authority to establish sport branch football
so far have not found the right model of competition based on potential and
barriers that exist in football in Indonesia. Changes in the competition model can

be said to occur if there is a change of management, this shows that there is
competition model has not been as expected, as the national team has not
satisfied her achievement.

aim of improving the quality of Indonesian football.

Professional Football Competition
Improving the management of Indonesian football competition is a tough
job, especially the management of competition to the competition that is
professional. Professional football competitions such as: English league, Italian
league, Spanish league, German league is an ideal example of how professional
football competition is managed. PSSI actually have realized the importance of
professionalism in the management of the competition, proved Galatama has
been present since 1980 as a competition which is considered a professional with
the characteristics of football players have gained salary for his work as a football
player.
PSSI take a policy established the Liga Indonesia (BLI) as manager of
competition of professional football and the National Amateur League as the

manager of an amateur football competition in Indonesia. ISL (Indonesia Super
Leuge) and Major League are two professional football competition in the form by
BLI. The clubs that will follow the ISL competition other than a proven record or
ranking of major divisions, the club shall meet verification requirements from BLI,
which assessed five aspects of the requirements is the sporting aspect,
infrastructure, personnel and admin, legal and financial aspects as a professional
club (Sudarmaji: 2010).
Management ISL member clubs in managing its activities to become a
professional club didn,t see. Pribadi (2010: 1) said the vast majority of
participants League club Indonesia 2010 budget assistance whose value is very
large, ranging from Rp10 billion to Rp15 billion per year to participate in one
season. Persebaya for example, in 2007 received assistance budget amounted
to Rp17, 5 billion. The number was greater than that received by Surabaya
Olimpic Comitte approximately Rp. 11 billion to take care of around 40 sports at
the time. Kompas (2010:29) stated that most good clubs like Arema ISL losers
USD. 7 billion. In fact Arema fan have not bought a ticket let alone orderly clubs
other ISL. An didn,t ideal conditions when viewed from the aspect of industry or
business of sports and club management professional.
Agency Indonesian League and the clubs members have problem how to
create a football club in Indonesia can be independent in managing finances
without seeking help from state revenues and budget expenditures (budget), how
at least minimizing the brand of football riots in Indonesia, how to manage
competitive system and quality competition, how to have a sponsor willing to
disburse funds to support the club or committee managing the game, how to
match able to attract television station bought the rights to broadcast? Rows of

the questions above are some questions and challenges management board
PSSI with ISL member clubs who tried to become a professional club to
management with the concept of business and industry.
Various problems that arise in professional football competition run by
PSSI Indonesia have not been resolved, new problems have come the birth of
professional football competition which was initiated by Arifin Panigoro, with the
Premier League Indonesia (LPI) (Kompas, 2010). LPI managers feel that the LPI
and the club is a club member who truly professional and independent because
they do not use financial resources from the government through the budget
(Revenue

Budget

Regional

Budget).

Conflicts

between

management

organization of professional football competition in Indonesia can not be avoided.
Inter-Organizational Conflict
Robbins (1996) explains that the conflict is a process of interaction that
occurs due to incompatibility between the two views (viewpoints) that govern the
parties involved, the influence of positive and negative influences. Luthans (1981)
states the conflict is a condition caused by the presence of opposing forces.
Conflicts rooted in desire, then the difference of opinion is not necessarily a
conflict. Wirawan in his book on Conflict Management (2010) define conflict is a
process which is expressed disagreement between two or more parties that are
dependent on the object of conflict, using patterns of conflict behavior and
interactions that produce the conflict. From the above definition can be concluded
that the conflict is due to processes that occur in both parties that each party
adversely affected is causing conflict between both parties.
Competition is very closely related premises in the competitive conflict
because some groups want the same thing but the only one who might get it.

Competition is not equal to the conflict, but easily leads to the conflict, when there
is competition, use in ways contrary to the rules agreed. Conflict itself is not
always to be avoided because it is not always negative consequences. Various
conflicts that mild and can be controlled (known and addressed) to a positive
result for those involved and for the organization. There are five types of conflict
is intrapersonal conflict, interpersonal conflicts, conflicts between individuals and
groups, inter-group conflict and conflict between organizations.
The conflict that occurred between the manager and the manager of LPI
ISL competition is due to competition for the show professional competition
model or a better football coaching in Indonesia. PSSI through general chairman
(Sebastianus: 2011) stated that the LPI illegal existence, football competition
must be within the umbrella of heartfelt football is the only legitimate namely:
PSSI, PSSI as a national football organization and a member of FIFA as an
organization that manages international football. All players, game devices that
are managed by the LPI will be unable to compete for the national team, if proven
legitimately involved in the implementation of LPI.
LPI Manager stated the management of professional football competition
is legal is in coaching Professional Sports Agency of Indonesia (BOPI). LPI
implemented not using the government budget (APBD) means more professional
and independent. LPI was born because of dissatisfaction against ISL
competition is considered by many to have problems such as: the referee, the
referee who allegedly bribed easily, match fixing, a lot of commotion among the
players, clashes between supporters, and not optimal achievement of national
teams at regional Asean and Asia (Manila: 2011).

Agree and disagreement of the conflict between the PSSI as the manager
of ISL competition and PT. LPI LPI as the manager of the competition even more
sharp and hot. Aftereffect of conflict teryata brought up to the election chairman
2011-2015 period through the arena PSSI PSSI congress. Deadlock occurred in
the arena of the congress, the future of Indonesian football less and less clear,
sanctions

from

FIFA

is

very

possible

given

the

Indonesian

football.

The conflict between the LPI and the ISL if able to be controlled will be
able to produce something positive or football coaching situation is better,
especially against professional competition management system in Indonesia.
Soebiantoro (2011:) states effect of this dispute is unconsciously there has been
a reflection of both sides to improve equity or quality, respectively. Hopefully
affairs broke down this can be immediately terminated and both parties
immediately to focus on doing the best thing that will be or has been promised to
the public their national football spectacle and quality that is a quality league.
Conclusion
Conflict management of professional football competition has happened
and still happens in football Indonesia. The conflict should immediately get a
handler or managed for its effect is positive, beneficial to the progress of
Indonesian football. Leader or manager of a sports club, or sport organization
can quickly should recognize, identify and measure the magnitude and
consequences of this conflict with a positive attitude and a leader will be able to
control the conflict that will always exist, and if possible use it to open the
organization and members of the organization they lead. Certainly the benefits
can be felt by himself.
